LOL: Leftwing Censorship Organization the Human Rights Campaign and Other Gay Pressure Groups Demand That Budweiser, Get This, Affirm and Validate Dylan Mulvaney

Hell is being forced to constantly affirm and validate the marginal, the mentally ill, and malignant.

And that's the hell that Anhueser-Busch has put itself in.

Now that they've dipped a toe into Affirming and Validating the Aggressively Delusional, that's going to be their job 24/7.

As it continues to fend off attacks from conservatives for partnering with the transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Bud Light is now feeling the heat from progressives.
LGBTQ+ advocacy group The Human Rights Campaign is calling on Bud Light owner Anheuser-Busch InBev to express more explicit support for Mulvaney and the trans community. The group sent a letter last week to Lindsay King, the brewer's chief people officer, denouncing the company's response to what it sees as a hate-based opposition.
"In this moment, it is absolutely critical for Anheuser-Busch to stand in solidarity with Dylan and the trans community," Jay Brown, senior VP at the Human Rights Campaign wrote. "However, when faced with anti-LGBTQ+ and transphobic criticism, Anheuser-Busch's actions demonstrate a profound lack of fortitude in upholding its values of diversity, equity, and inclusion to employees, customers, shareholders and the LGBTQ+ community."
The letter calls for the company to issue a statement backing Mulvaney; to "re-engage" with LGBTQ+ employees; and conduct transgender [inclusion] training for executives.
The letter was first reported by The Hill, which also noted that HRC is "preparing to lower Anheuser-Busch's long-standing 100 percent Corporate Equality Index score, a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits relevant to LGBTQ employees." The warning comes at an inopportune time for the brewer: Pride Month, a time when brands often tout their efforts to support the LGBTQ+ community, begins on June 1.

Ah! I called them a censorship organization; I forgot that they're also a financial blackmail organization.

And people have by now figured out that Anheuser-Busch also owns the third-best-selling beer in the country, Michelob Ultra:

...
What's worse for the brewer is that the negative trend appears to be spilling into other AB InBev brands: Michelob Ultra dropped 8% for the week ending April 22, while Busch Light fell by 8% and Budweiser dropped by 13%, according to Beer Marketer's Insights.

As Anhueser-Busch faces the possibility of Bud Light (the country's number one beer brand) and Michelob Ultra (number three) falling out of the top five, gay and trans blackmail organizations demand they double-down and put more of their money and futures at risk to Affirm and Validate the Aggressively Mentally Ill.

A-B is, as one industry magazine puts it, in "serious trouble."

A staggering sales hit for Bud Light is worsening with each passing week following an ill-fated marketing tie-up with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney -- with the latest weekly figures showing a 21% drop.
During the week ended April 22 -- the most recent industry data available -- Bud Light sales plunged 21%, accelerating from a 17% slide a week earlier and an initial weekly drop of 6% when the controversy kicked off during the first week of April, according to Nielsen IQ and Bump Williams Consulting.
Meanwhile, beer volumes -- the number of cases sold, whether in packs of 12, 18 or 24 cans -- dropped an even steeper 26% last week, versus a 21% drop a week earlier and an initial drop of 11%, according to the data.
That's an indication that Bud Light's core customers -- who typically buy their beer in bulk -- are ditching the brand, beverage expert Bump Williams said in a Tuesday interview.
"Larger packages of Bud Light are not being purchased -- the 30-pack suitcases, the 20-packs, the 18-packs, the 12-packs -- they're all being impacted," Williams told The Post. "It's going to be very, very hard to reverse the decline."
...
Nevertheless, the precipitous sales drops of the past few weeks have left its sales year to date down a painful 8%, threatening Bud Light's leading position, the latest sales data show. Unless parent Anheuser-Busch turns things around, "then Bud Light is in serious trouble this year," according to Williams.
"I think it runs the risk of losing that No. 1 position at the end of calendar year 2023 to Modelo Especial," Williams said.

And has Anhueser-Busch fired the executives who greenlit this? No, they're only on leave until we Deplorables settle down.

Have they apologized? Hell no! Right now they're considering Affirming Dylan Mulvaney's Gender Identity.

Here's what they will do, Rubes: They'll run an ad showing country-type people.

You know, people like you, Rubes:

Over the weekend, Bud Light released a "countrified" YouTube ad showing young beer drinkers frolicking in the rain at a country music festival.
The ad, which premiered during the live airing of the NFL Draft last week on ABC and ESPN, shows the youngsters cracking open a can of beer as a hit song by the Zac Brown Band is heard playing in the background.
But critics accused the company of pandering in an attempt to regain consumer trust.

And, as I mentioned: People are expanding the boycott from Bud Light to other A-B brands.

During the controversy, sales have shot up for Bud Light's biggest competitors, Miller Lite and Coors Light, Williams said. What is more, he is beginning to see what is known as a negative halo effect -- other Anheuser-Busch brands are suffering because of the dispute.
"I also think that what's happening now is that anybody that is a Bud Light drinker and switches to Michelob Ultra because they don't want to be seen holding a Bud Light, someone down the bar is going to say, 'Hey, buddy, that's an Anheuser-Busch product you're holding,'" Williams said.
The slowdown in sales of Michelob Ultra is of particular concern to Anheuser-Busch because it had been one of the fastest-growing brands on the market, said David Steinman, vice president and executive editor at Beer Marketer's Insights.

...
According to Williams, the plunge in sales is hitting beer distributors especially hard, costing them millions of dollars every day. To stop the slide, Anheuser-Busch needs to cooperate with them and come up with a way to entice their former consumers back into the fold, he said.

Below, the Bud Light "Countrified" commercial. This commercial generated such backlash that the company disabled comments -- because comments were overwhelmingly negative.

If we want to change things, we have to actually fight. We cannot continue electing "business as usual" Republicans and following this inane, childish "but good conservatives and libertarians don't boycott" loser line. If corporations want to join the left, they can do so-- but without our business.

And I don't care which corporate GOPe cvcks they donate to.

Kevin McCarthy just told Ron DeSantis to stop fighting with his very important Corporate Donor Disney. Boy, we're hearing a lot of that lately.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) over his handling of a feud with Disney.
Appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box, McCarthy was critical of DeSantis's approach to Disney in a yearlong feud. On Wednesday, Disney sued DeSantis, claiming that he pursued a "relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials."

The House speaker advised DeSantis to drop his hard-liner approach and instead sit down and negotiate with the entertainment giant.
"I'd give him the same advice I gave President Biden," McCarthy said. "Why wouldn't you sit down and negotiate and talk. If there's differences, you can always find ways that you can solve this problem."
He pointed to Disney's status as a large employer inside of Florida as a reason to compromise.

"This is a big employer inside Florida," McCarthy continued. "I think the governor should sit down with them. I don't think the idea of building a prison next to a place that you bring your family is the best idea. I think it'd be much better if you sat down and solved the problems."
The House speaker isn't the first prominent Republican to take Disney's side in the fight with the governor.
On Thursday, 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley went so far as to invite Disney to South Carolina, saying it was a far more favorable atmosphere for businesses.

"If Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars with them, I'll let them know I'll be happy to meet them in South Carolina and introduce them to the governor and the legislature that would welcome it," she said.
Former President Donald Trump also took a shot at DeSantis over the affair, claiming Disney would gain the upper hand against the Florida governor.

Many of us have been urging the GOP to end its suicidal deference to leftwing corporations for a decade or more. And now that some Republicans are actually following our advice, and getting results, the cries within the GOP grow every louder and shriller that we must go back to the old days of just saluting corporate logos and obeying our corporate leadership class.

It is not true that what is good for big business is good for America. It is especially untrue as regards what is good for conservative, traditionalist America.

If corporations want politics to stop intruding into their business, then they must stop intruding their businesses into our politics.

Corporations need to understand that acting as a propaganda firm for Marxism has consequences. It will not be all "upside" of pleasing progressives and getting likes on Twitter -- it will have a downside, too, as conservatives simply stop buying their terrible products.

They must be made to understand that joining the Marxist Totalitarians has a price. They must be made to care.

View this as what it is; a chance for DeSantis to tell KM to f*** off, and that business as usual is over, and thus define himself as not the GOPe. Since Trump has already thrown in with the Disney appeasers, this is just a huge opportunity for DeSantis. I predict he'll take advantage of it.

25 It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:—

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

A-B gets to relearn that.

Good. More. The more, the better.

Let this incident serve as a lesson to all about paying the Danegeld. InBev shot itself in both feet, fucked up the biggest beer brand in the country and caused decades of good will to evaporate almost overnight and they did it all to pump up their ESG score to retain access to Woke Capital.

But the Woke Capital will unlikely be enough to offset the losses if this boycott has legs, which it looks like it might (we'll see). To try to short-circuit that, InBev is going the other direction and running "rah, rah, rally 'round the flag" ads for Budweiser and ads with college kids having fun in the rain with some country music for Bud Light, causing the very same ESG people they tried to satisfy to hit them with both barrels.

73 What's worse for the brewer is that the negative trend appears to be spilling into other AB InBev brands: Michelob Ultra dropped 8% for the week ending April 22, while Busch Light fell by 8% and Budweiser dropped by 13%, according to Beer Marketer's Insights.
++++
This is what I hoped to see, because it's the only way to get a conglomerate to notice. Many people have pointed out that this is entirely survivable even if Bud Light falls to zero because there are plenty of other brands to carry the company. Boycotting Bud Light does a lot, but boycotting *all* of InBev will do a lot more. Boycotting Gillette hurt Gillette a lot, but it didn't really hurt P&G.

I hope this continues, and it's persistent.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 02, 2023 03:51 PM (O4oKn)

74 Reoeating my earlier comment, AB should sue Mulvaney for inducing the beer company into a marketing grift by fraudualently claiming to be a trans-woman, when in relaity he still has his dick and merely likes to dress in womens clothes to make money on social media from hapless victim corporations, like Transhueser Busch.

This will confuse the trnas community, and everyone else. Mulvaney will settle quickly to avoid reputational damage to his grift. The whole mess disappears.

A/B In-Bev needs to collapse. Keep the pressure on anyone stupid enough to buy Bud Light, Michelob, Stella, or any other watered down pretend beer, letting them know they are insulting real women everywhere if they drink anything made by that company. That they support the grooming and corruption of children into degenerate sexual practices if they buy anything made by that company.

156 If corporations want politics to stop intruding into their business, then they must stop intruding their businesses into our politics.

Corporations need to understand that acting as a propaganda firm for Marxism has consequences. It will not be all "upside" of pleasing progressives and getting likes on Twitter -- it will have a downside, too, as conservatives simply stop buying their terrible products.

In part. The other part is what DeSantis is doing. The people can and should boycott and refuse to give money to these people. An Alinsky-style boycott like the one against InBev is great. It's a target-rich environment. Just pick one target and ice it.

The there is a role for political leaders, too, and DeSantis is doing it (or at least, he appears to be). That role is to smash them in the mouth. "If you shit in my pool, I'll burn your house down" is a *much* better approach than the one Haley is taking, which is "If you shit in my pool, I'll swim under you with my mouth open."

A new manual prepared by Russia’s presidential administration and distributed to the Kremlin’s army of propagandists contains some surprising instructions: Do not “underestimate” Ukraine’s impending counter-offensive and do not spread the idea that Kyiv is somehow “not ready” for it.

If McCarthy were only engaging in political maneuvering we'd have little reason to be concern about him.

Use Obama running against gay marriage both times for example. Very few Republicans run to the left of where they govern, many Democrats run to the right of where they govern. Trump's campaigning didn't really communicate how he'd do things in 2016 either (he pretty much took all positions on any given topic).

But also because they demand that gays treat them like they are *also* the same sex and get pissy when a lesbian doesn't want to be with a biological male, or a gay dude doesn't want to be with a chick who had a non-functional dick sewed together out of chunks of her forearm.

246 The Florida legislature dissolved Reedy Creek in Florida, not DeSantis.

Disney has survived for decades on the fiction that Reedy Creek is not Disney. As a result, Disney has avoided paying God knows how much tax money over the decades.

They are now losing their minds at Disney because they lost Reedy Creek.

Bob Iger has already lit it slip during a shareholder call recently that Disney and Reedy are actually tied together.

Disney is just stupid enough to want to take this to court because a tenth of a second after it comes out that they are in fact tied together financially, securities fraud investigators are going to start parachuting in like it's D-Day because they're going to be busy for the next four decades sorting this crap out and fitting people for jumpsuits.

So of course McCarthy, and yes sorry to say but Trump as well, can't be bothered to have people put them on the actual facts of exactly what's going on with Disney. Which is exactly what the media wants them to do.

250 "But critics accused the company of pandering in an attempt to regain consumer trust."

Sure, pandering is part of the game. Advertising IS pandering. Problem with InBev/A-B is that they did this soooo clumsily, soooo transparently that they threw off the disguise of the technique and ended up actually insulting the very consumers they were trying to bring back. They overtly typecast them as stereotypes and said to beer swillers, "Here you are in all your proletariat glory. Watch this and feel good about yourselves. Our beer will help you be who you are according to us. Now consume, square pegs, and slide right on in to your fitted hole."

And that's just the marketing failure, nevermind the actual sensibilities of the initial offense which was promoting/deifying transgenderism in youths.

This shit - all this postmodern poison that has been effectively classified under the umbrella of "wokism" is American. We invented it. It was our universities that hybridized the somewhat disparate precursors from European philosophy and turned it into what it is. Its roots are European, but its current form is 100% American.

There is no way the Eurofags would have imposed this. It's going the other direction entirely. There are probably InBev properties in other places starting to do this shit because of the American influence on them.

Sadly, our country owns this shit lock, stock and barrel.

He's trying to get the nomination. Rightly or wrongly, he feels cheated and maybe--just maybe---there was an "agreement" between he and Desantis that Ron wasn't going to run until 2028. If that's correct--I believe it is--he feels cheated, so he's flailing about trying to see what works.
I actually believe it's moot as he and De Santis are both doomed to the Cheat Machine.

Not sure about freedom and I suppose it depends on the BBQ, but country girls taste a hell of a lot better than Bud Light.

Here's a free idea for the Bud Light marketing execs:

Commercial begins by panning over remnants of a house party - stuff everywhere, floor littered with empty Bud Light cans. POV goes through a bedroom door where an anthropomorphic Bud Light can is sitting at the edge of a bed with its hands over its eyes, moaning, crying. Mulvaney sits up in bed and puts its arms around the can and says "thanks for the business". The Bud Light can runs out of the room screaming. Fade to black - Narrator says "Drink Responsibly". Fin

They'll drink anything if the advertising effectively flatters them for their taste, for being a "smart consumer," for their desire to serve "only the best" to their friends, for their fear of being left out of the crowd, for supporting good and righteous causes, for their love of cute funny animals, etc etc. There are lots of proven hooks in brand imagery, all flattering lies.

316 That won't happen. If Disney sues, they may or may not win - depends on the jury and venue lotteries - but they will not be subject to investigations due to their blatant lies about Reedy Creek. Disney is of the body. They're deep on the inside. They have nothing to fear on that front.

***

Normally I would agree. But with the economy, the national debt, and banks failing right and left, while the government is flailing around looking for more money, it might not be a good look for Disney to be sitting there on a mountain of money and assets as far as the eye can see.

318 If corporations want to join the left, they can do so -- but without our business.

Corporations are not joining the Left. The Marxist Left is
-- and has been for decades -- infiltrating every corporation and taking it over. The Marxist Left is also blackmailing every institution and corporation with ESG, DIE and CRT. That is what has happened to Hollywood over the past decade or more. The LGBT organizations, "human rights" organizations, ESG organizations, BLM organizations all threaten the institutions and corporations to adhere to their demands or the organizations will work to destroy them.

People can boycott corporations and institutions all they want. Until you destroy the organizations doing the blackmailing or the ESG companies funding this stuff, it will never end.

The Marxist Left does not care for the institution or corporation. They care about power and influence. They will either use the institution or corporation to spread their influence or they will destroy it. Win-win for them.

A lot of ink has been shed on culture war stuff being impossible because you can’t punish all corporations. That’s dumb, you don’t need to. You just need to punish some of them badly enough as an example that the rest don’t want to risk it.

Sort of. She knows it will never happen, that's for sure.

But if somehow it *were* to happen, she'd strap on the kneepads and blow the whole line of them as they walked by. She'd be *thrilled* to do it.

So her statement isn't serious, in that she knows it will never happen. It absolutely does reflect her position, though.

Holy shit, it was like some Science Fiction movie, like Omega Man but with fast cars.
i knew the vast majority of drivers are dipshits and obstructions but until I got to drive those empty highways I truly did not understand how bad it really is/was.

View this as what it is; a chance for DeSantis to tell KM to f*** off, and that business as usual is over, and thus define himself as not the GOPe. Since Trump has already thrown in with the Disney appeasers, this is just a huge opportunity for DeSantis. I predict he'll take advantage of it.

I hope DeSantis takes advantage of the moment. If Trump misses out that's his problem. What's more, Trump has to be made to understand that the world has changed, we don't automatically side with business when they haven't sided with us in decades. If he can't see that his time has passed.

442 "I think it runs the risk of losing that No. 1 position at the end of calendar year 2023 to Modelo Especial," Williams said.

This is exactly the reason why the Marxist Left chose Anhueser-Busch and Bud Light to push their "transgender" narrative. Anhueser-Busch has long been seen a very American beer company* with decades of popular commercials. And Bud Light is #1 in its market.

It is not a mistake that this is the company and brand that the Marxist Left chose to infiltrate and either use to their benefit or destroy (via the inevitable boycott).

The Marxist Left either takes over the #1 selling beer brand in the country and uses it to propagate their message or they help destroy a long-popular American brand. Win-win for them.

The Marxist Left has been doing this with every American institution/corporation/brand. And they will continue doing it until their terrorist blackmail organizations are stopped.

550 If you've followed beer news over the decades, it's been true that Bud Light is "in trouble" over lack of market share growth, for a long time. A-B had a well-publicized strategy of buying up independent-sounding smaller breweries to sneak into that market, and bringing out low-alcohol non-beer beverage products to try to find their way. They may have arrived at their "what the hell" point with this brand.

Keeping in mind that production breweries are highly fungible, here's how this works: if Bud Light can't be saved, they use the same plant to make A-B's more successful brands. Even if all A-B beers go down, breweries don't usually stay closed for long. They take on contracts to make seasonal specials for other brands, or take up slack for fast-growing mavericks.

A lot of execs would be redundant at that point, but most union brewery workers would keep a job. A-B as a brand name might even vanish, but it would not bring down InBev. This whole thing may have been stage-managed from Brussels. They eat horses there.

Punishments don't work well, even as object lessons. They turn into, "Don't let [authority] catch you at it.

Success works well, as in they start selling to their customers, quality, full measure and fair price, and they will get rich rich rich.

561 The word “decimation” comes from the Latin root word for “ten” (deci). You’d line your mutinous soldiers up and kill every tenth guy. For your punishment to be effective, you don’t actually need it to effect every individual, you just need the threat of to be bad enough that most people won’t risk it even if statistically you won’t be affected.

IIRC, the lucky nine of every ten were ordered to kill the unlucky guy, using only clubs and their fists. The Romans were serious about discipline and punishments.

The point is that the pro-Trump side has 2 wildly different standards. The whole Cruz/JFK thing is just politics, and you're a sore loser if you can't laugh it off. Same thing with the bizarre Ron was pro shut down shit that has been given a flyer. Meanwhile, anything gets said about Trump receives the most lawyerly factchecking imaginable. And even when no real defense can be mustered, then we get the "well, you have to take him seriously, not literally" shit. I'm tired of the special standard that exists for Trump alone.

575 AB had a chance at recovery and they blew it. They could have said "low level staffer" fired that idiot in charge of the brand, and Mulvaney, apologized to their customers, and moved forward, business as usual.

Instead they dithered. Now, it's too late. They'll never capture the tiny trans market, and they lost their old market, which leaves them with nothing but a long slide into oblivion - can't pull yourself out of the chute when you're already half way down.

Budweiser has only one chance, fire everybody involved, and permanently divorce itself from the homosexual lobby. Announce a 100 million dollar campaign to fight drag queen story hour, the sexualization of children, and gay marriage.

579 I am assuming Blackrock is leveraging every bit of ideological money support they can find to prop up the share price. The fact that bud light is continuing to see accelerating sales declines and infiltration to other brands, the stock price should be dropping. They will make 1st qtr financial statements and no guidance on 2nd qtr at all, as the financial press will bow down to the lefties. Why you should continue to push at Bud/InBev, the amount of money being directed to save them will all be flushed down the toilet. Blackrock will take more financial beatings. You could kill Blackrock on this one alone.
